Same as previous image, but slightly different pose

I used to be obsessed with Love Nikki in college, and since it's a dressup game, it feels fitting to make a cosplay of one of their suits! This one is of Demon Huntress. The suit is one my favorites aesthetically, but more importantly, is also really useful in-game because of the leg and arm pose haha.

You can read a log of how I created this cosplay here.

Project Voltage is such a cool idea, and I'm so glad I got to cosplay designs from it with xingkari! My favorite AND least favorite part was the wig- I'm super proud of the solution I came up with to keep her buns, pigtails, and bandanna easy to wear (they are all attached to a single headband that I can put on/take off easily throughout the day), but it was SO heavy. Kudos to all Miku and Sailor Moon cosplayers out there who deal with giant twintails...

Trapinch was sadly lost during Anime Boston.... I saw other cosplayers carrying around a Trapinch plushie right before we left, so I can only hope they found him and he's leading a happy life with another nerd...byebye buddy...

Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier! He was super fun to make and cosplay as a group with @xingkari.jpeg. He was also the first cosplay I got profressional photos in, which was a super cool experience and definitely something I'd like to do again.

Marcille from Dungeon Meshi is one of my favorite characters of all time, and I started this cosplay right when her dungeon lord chapter came out! Despite it looking simple, this cosplay was super challenging to make- learning how to sew faux fur, my sewing machine not being able to sew through the dress so hand-sewed most of it, and figuring out how to make my face look good with blonde hair. The hardest thing was the staff- it was originally made with PVC pipes and foam for the top but that kept breaking off during the con, so now the top has a 3d printed base that is a little sturdier. I am super happy with how the rope came out to mimic her woven staff though!

This cosplay is of an original character I just call "Maskface" in my head. I got super interested in animegao kigurumi in 2022 along with dolls. It was somehow super affirming to me to wear a monstergirl face, and I try to take her out to most cons to get a chance to walk around as her. I like the doll/bjd-face look more than the anime masks that are easier to find (on the English web at least), so I'd love to make my own one day!
